Emerald City Comic Con

The Emerald City Comic Con is coming up fast! April 4th and 5th! Looking over the site to see what things I'm stoked for so far...
  • Wil Wheaton, of course!
  • Jewel Staite who will be charging a fee for her autograph :(
  • NINTENDO is one of the sponsors this year!
  • Suicide Girls are also a sponsor this year... again. Always nice to have scantily-clad nerd-girls there :)
  • Noel Neil, the ORIGINAL Lois Lane! Since i struck-out with Margot Kidder two years ago, this is my second chance to bag me a Lois!
  • Gris Grimly, a film maker I've never heard of but who's credits include Cannibal Flesh Riot, so he can't be all bad!
  • Bruce Timm, so I can finally ask him what was up with Superman's cheeks in that "Superman/Doomsday" direct-to-DVD movie.
  • Mike Mignola, the man what gave birth to Hellboy!
  • Several folks who work on the Buffy The Vampire Slayer comic will be there which means I have an excellent chance of locating back issues this year!
  • Howard Chaykin! American Flagg! WOO!!!
  • Ernie Chan! When you think of 1970's Conan The Barbarian and any artwork other than that of Bart Sears comes to mind? THAT'S HIM!
  • Amanda Conner; the Hot Chick who draws ridiculously HOT CHICKS.

Y aknow what? TOO MANY GREAT CREATORS COMING!!! I was gonna go through and comment on all of them that I was stoked to see, but I'm TOO STOKED TO LIST THEM ALL!!!

OHMANOHMANOHMAN! I was gonna post about this, too! I'm pretty excited about Jewel Staite & Tahmoh Penikett (despite the charge, but what can you do, right?), and ESPECIALLY Ernie Chan. Kurt Busiek will be there again, even though he hasn't done any Conan for a while.. I hope to get my Vol. 1 TPB signed at least :)
And Wil Wheaton, naturally!

By far, my favorite meet-and-greet from 2008.

Also -- SG ladies were really disappointing last year, they all had terrible skin.

I will have Friday and Saturdays off by the time the con rolls around but I even booked the day off on Sunday at work yesterday just in case. I will be there. I only wish I had a Jewel/Serenity/Firefly figure to sign. I guess her figure will have to be enough.
